However...... The siege hammer silently approached the east gate, surrounded and guarded by a group of shield soldiers, pushed by fifty strong men, and slammed into the city gate!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! “…… The cold and merciless sound of the impact touched the nerves of everyone in the city, and several red-eyed soldiers shouted and jumped off the city wall to fight their might, and before they could get close to the siege ram, they were mercilessly slashed by the shield soldiers.

The defenders gathered around and smashed stones, shot arrows, poured boiling water, and set fire, but they were never able to destroy the battering ram armed to the teeth!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! “…… The sound of impact is stronger and stronger every time, and every vibration is far away to the corners of the streets in the city, intimidating the hearts of the soldiers and civilians in the city.

Outside the east city gate, the army of 100,000 tigers and wolves waited in formation, and as soon as the city gate was broken, they immediately rushed into the city and slaughtered it......

The Western Xia commander Tuoben sat in charge of the three armies, commanding Ruoding, and he issued the last order in cold blood: "Break through Dali City and slaughter the city for three days!" “

The city is ruined and the body is dead, the country is ruined and the family is ruined!

The East Gate is in danger, and Dali City is in danger!

Dali coach Zhang Qing looked directly at the crisis, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and at the last moment of life and death, he resolutely let out a wild roar: "Burn the East City Gate!" ”

This is a command that will decide the life and death of 400,000 people in the city!

The defenders quickly piled up a pile of wood the size of a house in the east gate corridor, spread straw, reeds and other flammable materials, and finally poured all the remaining fire oil!

The battering ram continued to hit strongly, and the force was so strong that it was about to crash open the gates! 100,000 enemy troops were ready to attack, armor and bows and swords flashing in the dark night......

"Knock...... Boom...... Creak...... Creak...... Creak...... Bang! “

The gates of the city collapsed!

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The shouts of killing outside the city were earth-shattering, and a whirlwind of destruction blew on the dark field! 100,000 blood-devouring beasts surged like a rolling torrent and pounced into the east gate of Dali!

A rocket quietly falls, and a fiery dragon soars into the sky!

The East Gate was reduced to purgatory...... In an instant, it turned into a door of fire!

"Launch!" Qin Muxue had already aimed the giant crossbow and stone thrower at the enemy army outside the city, and was extremely excited to command the Jedi counterattack, "Shoot all the boulders and giant arrows for me!" ”

The Western Xia army suffered heavy casualties.

Those who rushed to the front were lifted directly into the sky by the advancing Flame Gate behind, and the follow-up troops were thrown into confusion, and then they were shot with bows and arrows from the city walls, smashed by rolling wood and stones, and scalded by boiling water and oil...... The boulder roared and smashed into the dense army formation, and the giant arrow roared and pierced through the hordes of soldiers......

100,000 Xixia men and horses were in a mess, and thousands of people trampled each other to death, plus they were killed by the Dali defenders and cremated by the Gate of Fire, a total of more than 10,000 people were killed in battle!

Outside the east gate of Dali, there was mourning all over the field, and the morale of the Western Xia army fell to the bottom!

"What? Burn the gates! Tuoba Ben dropped the wine glass in his hand when he heard the news, "The other side ...... Who the hell is defending the city?! “

Seeing the rout soldiers scurrying outside the city, Zhang Qing wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a long breath: "...... It's dangerous! “

"Mu Xue, you quickly lead three hundred pikemen to reinforce Ximen," he suddenly came back to his senses, "General Niu, please personally lead the rest of the pikemen and three hundred Yangfu troops to support the North Gate!" “

The second general took the order to leave, and after a day and a night of hard fighting, the officers and soldiers defending the city still acted quickly and reacted quickly, running like the wind and galloping like lightning.

"Simon successfully defended after a fierce battle!"

"After a hard battle, the South Gate has been successfully defended!"

There is no news from the North Gate......

It didn't take long for Niu Ben to return with an angry face, followed by the pikemen he had brought with him, as well as six hundred Yang Mansion troops.

"Uncle Niu, what's going on?" Chu Lianjun saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly asked.

"Don't send me to support the North Gate in the future!" Niu Ben left the next sentence and walked away.

Zhang Qing grabbed a soldier and asked, only to find out that Huyan Xiaofeng refused to accept reinforcements, and not only returned the people brought by Niu Ben intact, but also sent 300 soldiers from the north gate.

"It's just nonsense!" Zhang Qing was so angry that his voice was hoarse, "What else did he say, making General Niu so angry!" “

The soldier couldn't help laughing out loud with a "poof", and hurriedly covered his mouth and said: "He also said that the north gate is as solid as a rock, and even if Tuoben comes in person, he can't gnaw away a single wall brick!" “

The three hundred soldiers sent by the North Gate also lingered in front of Zhang Qing and were reluctant to leave, and Chu Lianjun saw this and asked, "Do you have anything else?" “

A slightly bolder soldier whispered, "Commander, General, we want to go back to the North Gate, I don't know if it's okay?" “

Zhang Qing was so angry that he couldn't speak, he turned his back and waved his hand, and the three hundred soldiers ran away happily.

"Forget it," Chu Lianjun comforted, "as long as he guards the north gate well." “

"You go find some wine, and call General Niu over to have a drink together!" Zhang Qing wanted to borrow wine to drown his sorrows, "In addition, we must also recruit all the masons in the city, we still have a lot to do before dawn!" “

Tuoben walked out of the big tent alone, quietly staring at the fire at the east gate, his heart was depressed for a long time and could not be dissipated, he inadvertently saw a bright moon hanging over the Erhai Lake, and the clear water reflected the bright moonlight......

"I've got a way!" With a happy face, he hurried back to the tent to gather the generals.

What exactly happened to Simon? This is the easiest city gate to defend, but the three thousand Yang Mansion troops led by Zhao Bing can't hold it, not only Zhang Qing is eager to know the reason, but Chu Lianjun and Niu Ben also want to know.

The three of them drank wine and listened to Qin Muxue, who had just returned from the West Gate, said: "Originally, I thought that Sister Bing was not good at defending the city and caused a crisis, but when I rushed over to take a look, I realized that it was the Xixia Forward Battalion known as the 'Immortal Vanguard Army' that attacked the city, and there were 20,000 troops!" “

Chu Lianjun said suddenly: "The enemy's forward battalion originally had 30,000 people, and lost 10,000 people in Shangguan. “

Qin Muxue said: "Yes, yes, this Tuoben is still very powerful, attacking at the east gate, attacking at the south gate, and also attacking at the north gate...... Ximen seemed to ignore it, but secretly sent the forward battalion to make a detour to Cangshan to come to attack. I'll just say where this enemy is! It's really dark and windy at night, killing people and setting fires, sneaking into the night with the wind, moisturizing things silently......"

Niu Ben listened impatiently and interrupted her: "Khitan girl, quickly pick up the key points, what are you doing with it." “

"Love to listen or not," Qin Muxue snatched the wine jug in his hand, took a few sips, and simply stopped talking.

"Go on ......," Zhang Qing said with a smile, "I have to finish before dawn." “

"No problem," Qin Muxue wiped the wine stains from the corners of her mouth with her hand, and continued, "Fortunately, Sister Bing didn't sleep, she noticed the movement in time and gave her a head-on blow, and the enemy's forward battalion immediately launched a frontal attack if the sneak attack failed." Although they don't have these stone throwers, giant crossbows, siege towers, and siege rams outside the east gate, they ...... They are all brave and everyone is the first, one is not afraid of the bow and sword, the second is not afraid of fire, and the third is not afraid of ...... In short, I'm not afraid of death, and several walls have been breached! Sister Bing couldn't resist it, so she hurriedly asked for help from the three gates, the south gate sent five hundred people to help, and the east gate sent Ah Yu and me with three hundred pikemen each to rescue, so as to stabilize the situation a little......"

"Wait, didn't the North Gate send rescuers?" Zhang Qing asked anxiously.

"Hey...... You said that Brother Feng is also angry, if you don't send rescuers, forget it, and tell people who ask for help, you have 3,000 people at the west gate and 3,000 people at the north gate, why do you want me to come to the rescue? Sister Bing is still angry. Qin Muxue said indignantly, and took the opportunity to steal a few sips of wine, and Niu Ben was even more furious after hearing this.

"Uncle Niu, I didn't discipline this kid well," Zhang Qing hurriedly apologized to Niu Ben, "I have to teach him a good lesson when we meet." “

"Don't blame me for being too talkative, Dashuai, are you his opponent with your martial arts?" Qin Muxue spoke very straightforwardly, and her eyes seemed to be smiling rather than smiling.

"Don't be poor, keep talking." Niu Ben listened anxiously.

"In fact, it is the credit of Chongsheng Temple that Ximen can be defended, and when the reinforcements do not all arrive, Sister Bing will not be able to hold it, and there are many samurai in the enemy army whose martial arts are not weak. Alas! Sister Bing's martial arts are indeed worse...... Ahem, naturally it's a little irresistible. Fortunately, 800 monks and soldiers with strong martial arts came to Chongsheng Temple to calm the field. It wasn't until the reinforcements from the east gate and the south gate arrived that they finally found the field, Ah Yu, you know, since that time in order to save me, my martial arts have advanced by leaps and bounds, hehe. As she spoke, she couldn't help but drink again, "When I went, it was also a very critical moment of life and death, the enemy army launched a suicide attack again, the battle was fierce, and the wolf smoke was everywhere, I led the pikemen to rush into the enemy formation, pulled out the wolf-killing knife and jumped up to the city, and the enemy was killed by me one after another. I fought a decisive battle, and finally pacified the rebellion of the West Gate and stabilized the crisis in Dali City. Hey, Qin Muxue, a famous general of the generation, beat Tuoba Ben and screamed! As she spoke, she couldn't help but close her eyes, and pulled out the wolf-killing knife, looking very intoxicated.

"What about people?! Where have they gone! ...... when she opened her eyes, the audience had already dispersed, "Eh, where are you going, why don't you call me." “

The day dawned, the warm sun rose in the east and shone on the east gate, and everyone was so warm by the sun that they didn't want to move.

"Enemy spotted!"

"Enemy attack!"

The Sentinel warns again!

The officers and soldiers defending the city were ready to meet the battle, only to see all the enemy troops outside the city dispatched, each holding a long bamboo tube in both hands, and was running quickly towards the gate of the blazing fire.

"Wait for the enemy army to get closer, steady, steady ......" Chu Lianjun frowned, his expression was serious, "Release the arrow!" “

Arrows flew like locusts on the city, and the enemies under the city were killed by arrows one after another, and a lot of water was spilled from the bamboo tubes that rolled down in their hands.

"It's not good, the enemy army wants to put out the fire and enter the city!" Qin Muxue's eyes were sharp, and she hurriedly called the police loudly.

Sure enough, the enemy rushed to the gate of the city and threw the bamboo tube into the fire in turn, and the bamboo tube "zizi" burst out of the smoke and water vapor, and the fire at the gate of fire was greatly reduced!

Qin Muxue desperately grabbed Zhang Qing and shouted: "Dashuai, the city will be broken as soon as the fire is extinguished, hurry up and think of a way, hurry up...... Hurry up......"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Qing didn't pay attention to her, and only cared about directing the defenders to kill the enemy, a little bit of wanting to intercept 90,000 enemy troops outside the city, Qin Muxue was so anxious that she was like ants on a hot pot.

The fire was quickly extinguished, and the 90,000 Western Xia army roared madly and rushed into the city, brandishing their swords......
